Missing Lake Worth attorney Timothy McCabe, who vanished last month along with millions of dollars in client money, was dumped by his lawyer today.

Attorney Kevin Tynan, of Tamarac-based Richardson and Tynan, was representing McCabe in a Florida Bar complaint but told a Broward County Circuit Court judge this morning he hoped to withdraw from the case for lack of communication.

“Unfortunately, as you know, Mr. McCabe has disappeared and I have no communication with him,” Tynan said. “I can’t help him, if I can’t find him.”

At this point, it appears no one can find the 55-year-old foreclosure defense attorney who was last seen by his family April 2.

Emails McCabe sent to his wife and colleagues that day talk about mysterious business dealings that no one knew of and how he was “trying to set it right over the next few days.”

“You are all victims of my very bad business decisions,” McCabe wrote to his colleagues. “I have done things unknown to any of you that have been financially devastating. I am trying to set it right over the next few days. I am to solely blame for any wrongdoing that may be discovered at the firm. … I have done so many things and kept them secret from each of you and my wife. … I can without reservation say that none of you had any idea what I was doing secretly.”

The FBI is taking the lead on the McCabe investigation and had no updates as of Tuesday.
Meanwhile, clients are still trickling in to report the loss of money.

Realtor Vickie Meyer, who had homebuyers with money in escrow at McCabe’s firm, said two of her clients went to file reports with the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office last week.

“I hope they find him and bring him to justice,” Pupke said this morning.

Broward Circuit Court Judge Lynn Rosenthal granted Tynan’s motion to withdraw from the case. He said after the short hearing that he knows nothing about the details of the disappearance or has any clues where McCabe might be.
